CW for last Thurs - 173.5 rainy Sunday afternoon ahead, will dedicate time to catch up on posts and get geared up for Nov.

PW 173.6 CW 173.7

Wish we could all come to your house for eating this week, your menu sounds fabulous!!

CW 173.6 PW 174.2 Feeling good about that drop. Putting it down to being busy, not having tempting bad stuff in the fridge, and eating a lot of soup. Grew chayote squash in the garden again this year - big harvest - it's a bit like zucchini so made a huge pot of soup - on it's own nothing spectacular but with a few…

@jugar have a wonderful time. I was so confused with days of the week that I weighed a day early and posted it. 174.2

CW 74.2 PW- I couldn't seem to access the full spreadsheet to check at what it was last week. But, I think I'm in the green yeehaw. @MaddawgMadsen & @jugar I'm in for a dry October - wine derails all my efforts the evening of and the day after @micki48 I just LOVE your ideal day, finishing off with a chef cooking a…

Hello all. I'm Sylvia, 54, in Massachusetts, US, and have been with Waistaways since 2020 after decades of upswings in weight and intermittent success, only to swing up again. Had good progress in 2020 from a top of 196 or so, down to about 150 which felt marvelous. But up it's crept since then by about 25lbs and I'm…

CW 176.1 I'm up and not too surprised - was a doozy of a week between work and home, not having enough veg/greens in the house and bringing in Ice Cream for my old dad - in his last days he deserves ice cream...not just pudding (which I find much easier to ignore). and so he had ice cream and I had it too. I can't remember…

PW 175.4 CW 174.2

I moved my scale downstairs- might need to move it back again-they can be so fussy, will just get the benefit of a flight of stairs to weigh in. My goal of pre-logging, or logging at all, has not happened - yet! I know it's just one small thing, but last night I bought a whole bunch of the whole rye/pumpernickel/sunflower…

PW 177.4 CW 175.4 Just got my fitbit back on my wrist.

@gidgitgoescrzy sorry to hear of your friend. certainly something that makes one think about your own choices and good inspiration. Cards: no hard or fast rule right, if it means something to you, keep it, it doesn't take up much room. You can always toss out later. My cousin was over the other night supper, I offered…

oh how quickly I get derailed. Crazy day at work, things coming at me fast and furious, stayed late, then home to be updated by my sister on my dad's nurse visit & the outgoing caregiver's outsized interest in locating a box of briefs. Ate a quick PB&J while listening. Then more work to finish, then the hersey bars in…

PW 177.1 CW 177.4 A hot humid stinker of a day, just as well heading back in to the office after vacation days. Prepping a cucumber salad just now and planning for a good eating day and saying 'no' to the usual things I'd give in to. @jugar you might need to find an airconditioned mall to walk in ;) Glad you're having a…

Hello again friends. Sylvia here, rejoining for September. :) Starting weight on last Thursday was 177.1. Will stick to Thursday weigh in day. I'm 53, in Massachusetts. Have swung on the weight pendulum my whole life, never staying at a comfortable weight for too long. Did great in 2020 but have gained back much of that…

I'm gearing up for rejoining in September and just read all the August posts - you people are all so inspiring and so supportive. See you in September! <3

Hello all, sorry to have dropped off Waistaways without a word last month, I'm going to officially give July a miss...might pop on if I can but not likely...won't even go into all the goings on. Will leave you with a poem I saw yesterday that spoke to me...it's actually only the end of a longer poem but to me, this last…

Thurs weigh in 173.5. I don't know where the last two weeks went, it's been non-stop, think I even missed my weigh in last week. Computer currently shut down due to potential virus, will try to catch up via phone.

Thurs weigh in was 174, up a few ounces....but holding somewhat steady - sorry for the very late reporting.

@conleywoods Congratulations!

If I had a gallon of ice-cream right now, I'd probably eat the whole thing, and it's too early for wine. I'll go out to the garden and that should do the trick - just got a text that our 3day/wk caregiver is taking a new job and can't keep on with us. So with that, and my sister (the other caregiver) having knee surgery in…

CW 173.8 up a bit from last week but overall just glad it's not more. Sylvia in Massachusetts, 53, caregiver for 93 yr old dad, full time office job, active gardener - trying to get into the mental headset I was in 2 yrs ago when I started with Waistaways. For some reason, it's difficult to do so. I can't say it's because…

Thursdays weigh in- 172.8 gah, on to June already. Sorry for being so late. Huge gardening pressure for 3 clients, not easy to get coverage for dad and my boss has had her last day - with no replacement - could be a couple months...so a lot going on. Will check in proper later - after I've caught up on everyone's end of…

@jugar so happy for you and Jasper. You've been waiting a long time for this day :)

@conleywoods glad things are coming together - happy to see you back on the regular team. You've got a lot to manage. Just had another confirmation of why I think weighing is better than volume measuring. Have lately had Caesar salad ingredients in the house for my brother. The Caesar croutons you can buy - well, they…

CW 172.7 @ashleycarole86 I do eat breakfast and often early. Then yes, it's second breakfast around 10 or so. I just need to bring more things to eat into work- healthy things. Today I'm in trouble - have run out eggs - horror of horrors. But I'll pack up some pickles, some roasted red peppers and have some very nice ripe…

As I read thru the posts, I'm reminded AGAIN that pre-logging really works - worked for me before and I must return to it. Full days - my boss gave her notice and in 2 weeks it'll be just me and fortunately some consultants SHE hired to support me & the office - the bosses upstairs really screwed up by letting my…

Thursday weigh in CW 173.1

I'm laughing a bit at this last topic - the do everything - I suspect I am an annoying person to sit with (poor dad)...as I am always jumping up to do something that needs doing. But boy, it sure helps with sleep. I do try to stop sometimes and savor the time just enjoying the birds, the view, the garden but often that…
